The complainant is one Mohammad Shafi Mohammad Rafiq Punjabi. He has alleged that on 27th June, 2015, an altercation took place between the family members of the complainant and the son of Akbar i.e. Sukkha and others. He has alleged that in the said incident Akbar assaulted the complainant with a iron rod and Sukkha assaulted him with a chopper. The present applicant and one Sher Ali are alleged to have been assaulted the complainant with fist and kick blows, after dragging him from the premises. He has alleged that thereafter all the accused chased him and again Akbar is alleged to have assaulted him with a chopper and that the present applicant along with other accused are alleged to have assaulted him with fist and kick blows.

4.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant submitted that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the said case as he is the brother of Akbar. He submitted that the present applicant was not present at the spot when the alleged incident took place and that the complainant has falsely implicated

3/5 all the family members of the applicant in the said case. 5.

Learned APP on the instructions of the Investigating Officer who is present in the Court states that although CCTV footage was examined and it was found that the present applicant was not seen on the spot in the CCTV camera, the angle of the camera was such that it could not cover the entire events. She submitted that three C.Rs have been registered as against the present applicant. Learned Counsel for the Applicant states that two out of the said three CRs have been lodged by the complainant in view of the inimical relations between the parties. 6.

Perused the papers, the injury certificate and the CCTV photographs. It appears that although in the CCTV footage the present applicant is not seen, however, the entire assault is not covered in the CCTV footage. In the said incident four persons were injured including the complainant. The nature of injuries appear to be grievous. The injury certificate of the complainant shows that he has received incised injury on the left arm, right wrist, behind the neck, on the occipital region and on the right side of the abdomen.
